That round screen is the ugliest shit I've ever seen

It's an homage to the original 1959 Mini interior. All subsequent Mini versions including more modern ones have a round central dial.

I think it's awesome. You get a Mini because you like the original spirit and its quirks.

Edit: Also, the PRNDL is in the small oval shaped panel below the screen. She almost touched it referring to the AC controls.

Why is it impeding the line of sight of the windshield from the drivers seat?

She is filming way lower than her eye level. IRL it doesnt get in the way at all unless you have the seat all the way down maybe.

Thats fair. Camera is pretty low.

It still seems like it would be distracting as fuck sticking out like that, but I'm the kind of person who tapes over LEDs on my keyboard, so maybe I'm an outlier in that respect.

When sitting like normal it doesn’t stick up much more than the square ones in a Civic.

I actually prefer the displays that stick out from the dash to the ones integrated in.

Because it's a Mini. The whole brand is style over substance.

Also today I learned this thing is basically a Ora, developed by Great Wall.

What she is driving there is a combustion powered Cooper made in the UK. Only the Electric Cooper and the Aceman are developed in China.

Its subtle but if you see them side by side you can tell which is which.
